Back to the Future: The Return of 'the 1980s' in Western Popular Culture and its Political Implications

Over the last five to ten years there has been a re-emergence of ‘the 1980s’ in western popular culture. From music and fashion, to television and film, the decade has made a sustained and emphatic return across many countries.

Design of Pulsappen: A mobile healthcare application to make administrative work more efficient for caregivers

Personal på sjukhusavdelningar upplever ett antal problem kopplade till administrativa uppgifter. Bland dessa problem ingår att behöva dokumentera samma information i flera system, samt svårigheter vid överlämningar mellan skift. Den nuvarande produkten Pulstavlan, utvecklad av Stretch Care AB, har som mål att lösa dessa problem. Pulstavlan är dock stationär och möjliggör därför inte för vårdpersoStaff in hospital wards experience a number of issues related to administrative tasks.

”What becomes of the broken-hearted?” - En socialantropologisk studie om männen som kallar sig incels.

Under det senaste decenniet har världen blivit varse om fenomenet ”incels”. Incels har uppbå-dat stor medial uppmärksamhet till följd av två massmord utförda av män som identifierade sig som incels, vilket har föranlett att en relativt endimensionell bild av incels har fått fäste: incels beskrivs som arga och farliga män som hatar kvinnor för att de förnekas sex. Hur väl stämmer dessa beskrivninga
